There seems to be a bit of a rainbow theme going on here!!! Here is the latest project I made for Quilt Now Magazine. These two Hoop Art pieces use the latest Sun Print fabric range from Alison Glass (Sun Prints 2018).

The first one features hexies that have been hand sewn together using the English Paper Piecing technique. I hate hand sewing with a passion but I love how this turned out!! I have machine sewn Quilters Gonna Quilt on with a walking foot. I've added some echo quilting around some of the hexies in silver thread.

The second one is foundation paper pieced using a simple pattern I designed. This one says Sewists Gonna Sew.

The background of both white sections I have just added some loopy free motion quilting.
